Powder coaters in Edinburgh area?

[therealkw15]

Any knowledge of, or experience with, frame powder coaters in Embra?

I'm leaving the Mainland and heading south to Scotland next weekend to make a periodic trip to Edinburgh and thought I might treat the Tufftrax while I was down. I see there are a number of Lothians based members and thought there might be some suggestions.

Cheers
Steven

pm velomaniac, I seem to remember he knew someone who did motorcycle stuff and wasn't your regular industrial guy.

Hendersons in piershill area, google them.
I just got quoted £30.00 for a pair of forks in white and up to 3 weeks!
I will probably post down south now as it will work out cheaper!

Gc

This guy also shows up on Google, http://www.bbsedinburgh.co.uk/index.htm, so I've emailed him for a quote- I'll tell you how that pans out.

If you do send your frame south, who would you use?

Cheers

Yeah,
Let me know how you get on bud, would rather use a local place

If you don't mind a wee drive - I used this bloke in Falkirk for my Hardrock:

It was either 30 or 40 quid (can't remember) for the frame. Reasonable job (protected the threads, head tube etc pretty well), friendly guy. He's done quite a few bike frames, so he seems to knows the score - when I picked mine up he'd just done a rather nice frame for the Rapid Descent website guy in a sparkly metallic for his girlfriend I think.

The email to the BBS Edinburgh got knocked back, which is not encouraging. And coincidentally I emailed the Williams guy last night, so it's good to get a testimonial, thanks. No reply yet though.

I'll keep you posted...

Is this someone here?
I've bought from him before and he's got some nice things indeed

@ Zigzag - are you anywhere near Slamannan?

Steven Shand frame builder near there - said he knew a local(ish) painter/powdercoater who was good.......
